India's state-run trader MMTC Ltd floated a tender on Tuesday to import 10,000 tonnes of rice for delivery in the eastern state of Mizoram.
India, the world's second biggest rice producer, has huge surplus stocks. Imports are sometimes required because of poor transportation links to ship grain to interior areas in northeast India, said a trade source.
The state trader is seeking 25 per cent broken white rice supply from overseas sellers for delivery between October 15 to November 15, the statement said. Bids close on September 23.
On Monday, another state-run trader, State Trading Corp., floated a similar tender to import 25 per cent broken white rice for delivery in the eastern state of Manipur.
